Planning board admits error in granting permission for 500 Dublin homes
Summary
An Bord Pleanála admitted it erred in granting planning permission for a 500‑unit housing development in north Dublin. Mr Justice David Barniville was informed by Fintan Valentine that the board would consent to an order quashing the permission. Earlier, the board had approved a 104‑house and 432‑apartment scheme on land used by St Paul's College, Raheny, which had been challenged by Clonres CLG, environmental campaigner Peter Sweetman, John Conway, and the Louth Environmental Group. They argue the decision was fundamentally flawed, citing failures to conduct an Appropriate Assessment under the EU Habitats Directive and to comply with the EU Birds Directive. The case also involves proceedings against Ireland, the Attorney General, and the Minister for Culture. The judge adjourned the matter to allow parties to consider the board's admission of error.
